[libvirt] [PATCH] ESX: Add AnyType_Serialize routine to esx_vi_types.c

[Ata E Husain Bohra]

Add esxVI_AnyType_Serialize routine to allow serialization
of objects containing variables of type "AnyType". The routine
attempts to determine the type of the object that covers:
    boolean, long, int, string, short, byte.

If variables does not fall under any above mentioned types
then it is added as "anyType".
